Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient required the absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus. Two forms are available from foods - ergocalciferol (D2) and cholecalciferol (D3). Vitamin D is necessary for growth, development and maintenance of bones and teeth in children and adults. In its most active form, vitamin D works with calcium to control bone formation. Vitamin D can be obtained from two sources - the spontaneous formation in the skin by the sun via a phytochemical reaction in the epidermis, and the eating of a food containing vitamin D. A severe deficiency of vitamin D results in rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, which are both skeletal diseases that weaken the bones. Good food sources of vitamin D include cold-water fish, butter, egg yolks, fortified milk and cod liver oil.
